What are my chances of getting into Western Dental?

[imastudent]

Hi all, I'm about to graduate from csulb with a major in biology and minor in chemistry and my number one choice for dental school is Western because it is close to home. Here are my scores
GPA: 3.375
SGPA: 3.1
AA: 18
PA: 20
TS: 18
I currently volunteer at a dental clinic focusing on low income families. I plan to shadow at another clinic and also work under a dentist at a clinic in Mexico once a month starting 2016. I'd like to know the odds of admission at my current state and see if there is anything I can do to help improve my chances. Should I take a year off to take classes to boost my GPA? Is there anything in particular I can do that western would favor?

chances are currently low. take more classes, and retake the DAT

I bet their average DAT this cycle is a 21. Tons of Californians apply and want to stay local.

Retake the DAT. Aim for a 20. Bring that sgpa up.
